4 Horrible Tale of Murder on the sea
The Engineer Implicated.

4 Horrible Tale of Murder on the sea
The Engineer Implicated.
CHICAGO, Ill, October 2O.-The Times
Galveston, Texas, special says: UpOG the
arrival Of the Mallory steam ship, Corral
from New York yesterday, the master of
the vessel, Captain John Risk, reported that
during the voyage coal pasSer, John II.
Graham, OF New York, had died from over
heat and cramps aud was buried at sea,
This waS'the substance OF Captain Risks
report at the naval office, as required by
United States Statute in such cases. Moth
ing more was thought Of the matter during
the day and no suspicion Of
foul play existed at tie custom
house. 1t was therefore a mat
tel of very great surprise, when later
one Of the coal handlers named Riley,
who made the trip with Graham, visited
the office OF United States Commissioner,
and made affidavit, charging Vim. McCul-
Tough, Chief Engineer of the Corral, with
the willful murder of Graham.
Riley's story for savage and devilish in
humanity, SurpaSses belief In substance
he swears that he was working in the
watch, with Graham, when they were four
DAYS out from New York. Graham, while
in the fire room at work, complained to
him Riley and Others of being sick and
unable longer to Hold up his end'' of the
work. Shortly after this Chief Engineer
Mccullough came in, and found Graham
lying down, apparently sleeping, where
upon the engineer remarked IN wake
you up, and shifting the action TO the
word. ne deliberately took large shovel
and scOOpiug it full OF red hot Goals from
the furnace he poured them over
the PROSTATE form of the sick man,
and followed up the work by beating and
abusing Graham as he lay writhing under
the burning Goals. Riley further swears
that within fifteen minutes sitter Engineer
Mccullough had first assaulted Graham,
the latter was corpse and was immedi-
atcly removed to the engine room and laid
upon Ii grating.
Perhaps the most extraordinary state
ment made by Riley, is that the body of
the dead man was kept on ice until the
steamship was within twelve hours run Of
Galveston aud then buried at sea. The
commander Immediately issued warrant
charging Mccullough with murder on the
high sea, and he was arrested while aboard
the vessel by deputy United States mar
shall and committed to Jail. Five wit
nesses were also arrested to await the sit
ting of the federal grand jury.

propriated. He would put 80, 900 men at

way to get rid Of the surplus was found

"Mr. Depew's memory is bad, and we

the fact that the interview took place by

that it occurred TO him that what he said,
being said in haste at the Union depot, was
